What are your additions, changes to the German Leopards based on? I have been comparing the Vanilla OOB with yours and it seems a lot of the Leopards have undergone slight changes. Why is that? I know the later models require a change but the early ones too? No criticism, just curious. I want to upgrade my Leopard fleet but I am not sure yet.
Mostly different sources I'd say. I have redone most of the modelization from the ground up when I could find data. I wanted to get everything on a firm common basis, so identical units are really identical in different OOBs.
If you look closely, most tanks and AFVs are slightly (or largely) different from the original.

F.e. I have tried to re-scale the FC/RF/vision data of the whole world tank fleet to get everything on a common basis, with some fixed conventions like 40 for a hunter-killer tank, 50 if both gunner and TC have the same sensor (Leo2A5), 60 with autotracker, etc. Much guesswork involved, so the whole system is not necessarily worth more than the game original.
Same with the armor ratings, they are based on different sources and some different conventions, but don't take them for granted.
